is look at north dakota. north dakota where the unemployment rate is 3%, because of all the hydrofracking of oil and natural gas that is going on, on privately held land. every state wants to be like north dakota. and it's interesting that mitt romney would dissolve the decision as to whether to explore on land or not to the individual state, he let each individual state decide. so virginia, for example, the one to look for oil off its coast would be allowed to do so. that was revoked by the obama administration even though it was granted by the bush administration previously. alaska wants to do more oil exploration. everybody wants to get sources of energy in their state. so not going to be able to get the job of getting it out go but also to attract chemical manufacturing companies with low energy price. so this is the choice we're going to have before us. to me it seems clear the way to go. i'd like to thank all of you for listening, and i'd be very happy to take any questions ipod ma mac. >> if i could just lead off with one question. among the natural gas reserves that you refer to o

of an issue. winding down in intensity from eastern north dakota, right up across northern minnesota, and southwestern south dakota, that's where the snow is right now, but it's not going to accumulate all that much morrelltive to what we've already seen. we'll pick up another 3 to 6 inches in general in the darker shade of white from north into south dakota, even northern nebraska, and northern minnesota, could end up with another 12 inches of. now at this point, about the blowing snow. wind gusts, 20 to 40 miles per hour. temperatures around zero, and windchills are down near 20 to 25 month zero. all about the cold, and the wind with this huge dip in the jet stream out west, but then, of course, the eastern half of the country. a ridge in the jet stream which means really warm temperatures, 20 to 30 degrees above normal. washington, d.c., top out nearly 60 degrees. tomorrow, highs close to 70. record in d.c., 75. shouldn't break a record, but it will be close to it for the end of the weekend. alex. >> and mid-january. go figure. thank you, dylan. >>> fewer half of americans getting

. talk about that and klinks like that, where the problems lie. >> i ralphed to fargo, north dakota, and spent tomorrow some time at the red river women's klink there, the only abortion clinic in the state. north dakota is one of four states across the country that has a single abortion clinic across the nation. nationwide you there, are 40% fewer providers than in the 1940s, fewer places for women to get abortions. sborgs something 30% of women will experience by the time they are age 45. something that affect women. across the country, states have been passion, including north dakota and elsewhere, laws that limit clinics' ability to operate you which is why there are fewer. >> having to widen halls to five feet wide, which shuts down klink and the money to support t you write about a generational divide in the reproductive rights movement, you point out the leadership compromised women in their 20s at the time of roe v wade 40 years ago but now these leaders now in their 60s and their 70s and there's frirpgs wi friction with the younger generation of activists. >> young women act

't be intimidated. >> south dakota, north dakota, arkansas. the reasons why each of these states have only one clinic vary from state to state. mississippi, too. but in each of these states it was not always the case. each of these states used to have more than one abortion provider and in each of these states only one clinic is now left. and the same intimidation and targeting that in many cases helped shrink the abortion clinic population down to one in each of these states makes it all but certain that no one else will try to open another clinic in these states any time soon. >> in the early '70s, after roe v. wade, there were 17 physicians providing abortion services in central arkansas. as the anti-choice forces became more and more well versed in their coercive tactics, these physicians started to dwindle. by the time i entered abortion practice in 1985, there were five physicians in little rock and one in fayetteville doing terminations. now we have younger physicians from out of state come in so i can go on vacation or get a bre break. but if you're not going to be an abortion provider

with the big winter storm in the plains. the weather channel's janelle klein is in grand forks, north dakota. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lester. there aren't many cities that know extreme winter weather like grand forks, north dakota, but this storm is putting even the toughest people here to the test. it started with freezing rain that left behind a thick coating of ice followed by about eight inches of snow. then came the wind. gusts of up to 30 miles an hour that sent windchill temperatures well below zero in places as cold as 30 degrees below zero. it's made travel almost impossible with slick roads and blowing snow. the storm has caused similar conditions throughout the west, reaching spots like salt lake city and albuquerque, but it's at his worst right here inned h dakota. the hockey team has a big series this weekend with colorado college, and its 12,000-seat arena is sold out. but at least 3,000 seats were empty for last night's game. and fans tonight, lester, are hoping the storm stops at least long enough so they can make it to tonight's game. >> janelle klein, than

to north dakota where the hispanic population is 20%. >> the good news is for the first time in many years, republicans and democrats seem ready to tackle this problem together. this moment it looks like there's a genuine desire to get this done soon. that's very encouraging. but this time action must follow. we can't allow immigration reform to get bogged down in an endless debate. we have been debating this for a long time. the principles are pretty straight forward. first, i believe we need to stay focused on enforcement. that means continue k to strengthening security at our borders. we need to implement a national system that allows businesses to quickly and accurately verify someone's employment status. second, we have to deal with the 11 million individuals who are here illegally. we all agree that these men and women should have to earn their way to citizenship. but for comprehensive immigration reform to work, it must be clear that there is a pathway to citizenship. >> the president who claimed 70% of the hispanic vote say he would push forward his own legislation. >> to help move

"extreme" there was new democratic senator from a rural state. the state of north dakota there. when talking about what she read in the "washington post" about guns. and therein lies the issue of why gun legislation on capitol hill's future is very grim. is it not? >> right. forget the house for a second which is obviously controlled by republicans. if you look at the senate alone, it's the conservative democrats, people like joe manchin. >> from the rural states. >> exactly. joe donnelly. heidi heitkamp from north dakota. those are people that need convincing they can make the leap on gun control measures if they're willing. >> it's a tricky issue for the white house. on one hand you have some on the left who sit there and say the white house has been lacking any sort of spine when it comes to gun issue. there's the political reality staring them in the face. heidi heitkamp. >> i would add two other challenges for the white house. one is the timeline. already people aren't paying attention to this as much as they were in december. the media coverage is dwindling, of course. the seco

agenda for the new congress. republican senator john hoeven of north dakota and then maine senator angus king. also today, the government releases the unemployment report for november. we'll talk about the unemployment numbers and what they mean for the economy with marilyn geewax of npr. >> it's quite true that a people history is the result of how our synthesizing the work of great many other historians. what had happened in the 1960s with the culture was that a whole new generation of young historians had come up and they were in essence reevaluating all aspects of our past. >> martin duberman on c-span two. like us on facebook. >> they put us in a field. i don't know someone took a shot and seems like shots were fired. i went down and i think there were something like 96 tanks and each one would fire into the group. anyone that was moaning, they shot. just put it simply, the 150 were made captive and about 84 of them were shot down by ssr forces that captured them. the survivors including ted played dead in the field after they were massed, they are fired on by machine guns in close

, in north dakota, in texas. the reality is that hydraulic fracturing, there is no evidence that is head -- that it has contaminated groundwater. hydraulic fracturing has enabled the united states to produce a lot more energy at home. that means we have very low natural gas prices. that is a great thing because energy makes us all richer. last night my wife and i paid our natural gas bill for the month. it was not super cheap, but it was not that expensive. it allows us to have money to spend on other things we were rather spend money on, rather than having to suffer in energy poverty. natural gas has enabled the united states to be the largest producer of natural gas. that is a good thing. so far the environmental track record of hydraulic fracturing has been very good. >> kate sat -- kate hudson of river keeper in new york state. what is the problem? what is the evidence that there is a problem with fracking? >> one of the problems is, who has the responsibility to come up with evidence? every day there is more evidence of the negative, adverse impact of fracking. every day in new york

cheerleader of energy that has come to the united states senate from the state of north dakota. senator, would you stand, please? [laughter] [applause] i think i finally found someone who is a bigger cheerleader than i am. we look forward to working with you. she is truly an expert in the area of oil and natural gas. she has been the tax commissioner and the state attorney general. she knows the industry well. let me quickly go around and introduce others. walter, if you would please stand. walt is the general president of the iron workers union. let me introduce doug. he is the president of the united brotherhood of carpenters heard we work closely. we have 15 unions now. thank you very much for being here today. we appreciate it. [applause] other good friends, would you please stand? dot is the director at the department of energy. we work with her as well as esther. would you please stand? the executive director of the congressional hispanic caucus into to. -- institute. i will share a recent study that shows the impact of the oil and gas industry and the great benefits we can provide as we

in missouri that haven't been paid for. there are parts of the flooding in north dakota that haven't been paid for so we've done what the senate has traditionally done. now, the house has moved to take out some of those but we'll see what happens. the bottom line is none of this is extraneous to disasters and i think that people, if the house wants to take it out, we'll have to deal with that in senate. it will obviously make some people not happy and may make it harder to pass but we've gotten such good support from our senate members on both sides of the aisle for helping the people of sandy that i think we could overcome it. >> one of the things people should recognize, some of the language was just opening up these vehicles for other states to apply for the same kind of money so allowing other states who have been affected by disasters in the last year to apply for that cdbg money or fema money so that's what makes the difference because we haven't had the opportunity to do relief in the other states so brought into what we asked for for sandy victims to allow other people to make the appl

of north dakota and later former governor angus king inhe's independent from maine. that's coming up on c-span's "washington journal." but this weekend on c-span 2's book tv and c-span 3 american history tv, our focus is providence, rhode island. here's a review. >> the founding of providence, when you think of roger williams coming over from massachusetts and his idea of having a lively experiment and the idea of freedom and also dissent was something that is very important to the city in the state of rhode island. in fact, some of his words are believe in our state house about having a lively experiment here and having that freedom of expression and freedom of religion. being able to dissent and not necessarily agree with your leaders. one political figure that i admire is up on the mantra near patrick joseph mccarthy, who was mare in 1907 and 1909. the first born mayor. he went through very difficult childhood but went on to study at harvard and become a lawyer and come back to providence and make a huge difference. we have seen how different ethnics groups. the irish came faced challe

independence, but here are some numbers for you. in north dakota the unemployment rate is 1% because of the fracking and natural gas boom there. in new york which has determined that fracking is safe, they have seen that economic output would be $11.4 billion in new york alone with 18,000 jobs and $1.4 billion in new tax revenue. pennsylvania has already seen this boom as well with unemployment going down as a result of fracking. so you have matt damon here making millions of dollars off of his movies, supporting a foreign country that's backed by oil companies. and here we are with lots of people in these areas who want these good fracking jobs. these aren't low-paying jobs. these are well-paid, high-ranking jobs here in america. >> to this point, to that point, bill bennett's column today was great. the title is "damon's film promised land overlooks fracking boom to the u.s." we have an economy that hasn't grown in five years under two different presidents. this is the most important economic miracle and hollywood is against it. damon is against it. he's going around the country lo

started running against new democratic senator heidi hei dcamp of north dakota when she said some of the president's ideas about gun control are extreme. will that work. can ms. tanden and their allies and they have suggested they can drive a wedge between people like you, the heads of the nra and some of their members who may not be as hardline as you guys are on gun controls? >> i think the senator from north dakota is reflecting the views of the people that sent her to washington. so i don't think there is much room to drive any wedge. i think she is representing them rather faithfully and i think it is noteworthy that a democrat who would be under a lot of pressure within their are caucus to take a gun control point of view is not having anything other. >> that s not true. heidi heidcamp has heard from both sides of the issue and now said she is open to discussion of the issues. i think the challenge here for the leaders of the nra and the leadership of the gun movement if that is right is that 74% of nra members, over 80% of gun owners recognize that we have a challenge on th

conditions form especially across north dakota. a very strengthening storm. even places that maybe get 3 to 6 inches of snow. the wind is going to be going 40 or 50 miles per hour. take a look at these temperatures, dropping overnight. dropping all day tomorrow. tight lines there. very windy conditions. tomorrow afternoon might not -- north dakota mine 2 degrees. >> shepard: not as cold as minot but cold out west. >> temperatures in phoenix, arizona tonight getting below freezing right now you are at 52. temps are going to plummet tonight. maybe right around 33 in phoenix. but a lot of areas down there across the valley seeing freezing conditions. the bad part is these temps are going to stick with us for about the next five days. these overnight lows below freezing in areas that might not freeze typically for a couple of years going to see it for four to five days. cold air somewhere, shep, warm our somewhere else. take a look 55 degrees tomorrow in new york city. >> atlanta looks like our pick city. >> certainly. >> thank you, sir. >> you bet. >> who needs a pension to retire when you have

in the political world by winning in north dakota, a state where mitt romney beat president obama by almost 20 points, republican congressman tom cotton from arkansas who volunteered for the 101st airborne in iraq and afghanistan after getting degrees from harvard and harvard law and joaquin castro of texas, named president of the house democrats. you may remember his twin brother, the mayor of san antonio. welcome to all of you. senator heitkamp, let me begin with you, 1 of 20 women in the senate. we saw you talking to diane sawyer just the other day talking about how women are better at working together than men, and during the campaign, that was actually your biggest criticism of president obama. i want to show everybody what you said during the campaign. "i think president obama failed in the one test america had for him, which was to unite the country. i think he needed to be more hands-on. i don't think he's done enough to think broadly and come up with solutions that would engage both sides in a reasonable dialogue." so how specifically does he fix that right now, and how can you help h

boston hasn't had a whole lot. a wintry scene from north dakota. north dakota looks really nice, doesn't it? anyone want to take a field trip? >> no. no, thank you. it wasn't like that when we were in chicago. >> no, we had big snow. >> a blizzard. well, one. >> we leave and good weather. go figure. >> thank you, ginger. >>> it is the biggest college football game of the year. will it be the fighting irish or the crimson tide? >> go, fighting irish. notre dame and 'bama, the top two college football teams in the nation that go head to head in the bcs championship game. tomorrow night for notre dame, it is a long awaited return to the big game for 'bama. a chance to defend their title. here's "good morning america" co-anchor josh elliott. >> reporter: it's college football's biggest of big games, and tomorrow night, one that will see history made. >> we're here to win a football game. >> it's going to be a very challenging game no doubt. >> reporter: two teams each with so much at stake. >> to go against alabama, to be the best, you have to beat the best. >> reporter: number two alabama

expected. here's what democratic senator heidi heitkamp of north dakota is saying. >> i think you need to put everything on the table. but what i hear from the administration and if the. "washington post" is to be believed that's way in extreme of what i think is necessary or even should be talked about. and it's not going to pass. >> give us a sense, phillip, of how the white house is gearing up for this fight, what their strategy is. >> in the immediate aftermath of the shooting in newtown last month, president obama tasked vice president biden with leading an interagency working group. they've been meeting with a lot of key stakeholders, law enforcement leaders, faith leaders, various gun control advocates to develop their recommendations. they're still in that process. and the proposals that we reported about over the weekend are just things that are under consideration. it's not clear yet whether that's going to be a part of the final legislative package. but people who've been involved in those discussions say the white house is very much looking at a broader, more ambitious agen

can see the two decides. north dakota and what it meant for the economy there and amazing. talking about how terribly the country is doing and north dakota boomtown out there and like you mentioned, people getting sick. weird seismic activity in different areas. occurs to me the epa doesn't have the power to prosecute in the event of pollution and a halliburton loophole in place from the place. the first to do this. still in place. shouldn't we at least empower the epa to look in to this stuff and prosecute if necessary if there's pollution taking place? >> asking me, i don't think there's any doubt that the only real future for fracking on either side, going to survive and i think it is, going to survive without a lot of damage, the epa and the state deps in new york, west virginia, ohio and especially in pennsylvania are the key to it. it's -- we have got to get in and embrace a regulatory structure that works, to make that opportunity cost for oil and gas a little higher. think veal to sort of pay a little protect it and protect themselves. they don't want to have spills. spills
